Description
The Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology investigates ecological interactions with molecular, chemical and neurobiological techniques. The Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology investigates ecological interactions with molecular, chemical and neurobiological techniques. Chemical Ecology examines the role of chemical signals that mediate the interactions between plants, animals, and their environment, as well as the evolutionary and behavioral consequences of these interactions. In the Institute, organic chemists, biochemists, ecologists, entomologists, behavioral scientists, insect geneticists and physiologists work in collaboration to unravel the complexity of chemical communication that occurs in nature.
